Putting Down Roots

When Stacy saw her kids connecting and making friends at their neighborhood school, she knew it was time to put down some permanent roots for her family. She’d been renting in North Tulsa for years, but their current place never offered the stability she wanted for her family. 

 She began researching the local housing market, looking for affordable homes within her budget that would fit the needs of her family of four. That’s when a friend recommended she apply to Green Country Habitat for Humanity.

  “I’d been thinking seriously about homeownership the last six or seven years, trying to figure out how to do it. I wanted to move towards building some equity, but a big barrier was just the uncertainty.”

 Our team was able to answer her questions and help her navigate the homebuying process: “I jumped in once I understood what goes into it and realized that there weren’t as many steps as I thought. It’s doable, especially with the Habitat staff.”

 Stacy’s oldest child will be graduating high school soon, and they’re looking at universities together. She’s picking paint colors with her younger children and planning for a garden. Her family is flourishing because of Stacy's hard work and determination to reach this goal. 

 Stacy's story is just one of many inspiring examples of families building stability, security, and self-reliance through homeownership. If you or someone you know is dreaming of a forever home, reach out to us today to see how we can help turn that dream into a reality.
